FBI Director Kash Patel drew the attention of the Iran-linked Handala Hack Team after the collective breached his personal email account. Handala has framed the intrusion as a retaliatory strike, linking the breach to a recent naval incident in which a US submarine sank an Iranian frigate.
Handala explicitly connected the attack to the FBI's recent efforts to dismantle the group's infrastructure, following the seizure of its primary domain and the announcement of a reward for its members' arrest.
